The Pantheon's members don't seem to have much to offer that would be of interest without the Hulk to fall back on; with the exception of Ajax, Achilles, and Paris, most of them use energy weapons of some type that are fashioned to reflect on their Olympian theme, but their weaponry and resources are what basically makes them tick. It's the Hulk who's put them on the map--so it probably goes without saying that the Pantheon "fell" at the same time that the Hulk reverted back to his savage form, with Banner's mind again suppressed.<br /><br />As for Frost, we're only brought up to speed on him in a later IH issue (in a story titled, appropriately, "Head Cases"), where we learn he was part of a six-member renegade group known as (again, appropriately) the Headshop--men and women who were dying of gamma radiation exposure and taken in by the Leader, who had promised to help them. Instead, he decapitated them and grafted their heads to android bodies. After the six escaped from the Leader, Frost decided to go his own way, and he ended up in Las Vegas working for our friend Striker. As far as I know, he hasn't made an appearance since. I suppose you could say he's being kept in *ahem* cold storage.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-34067402397873469802017-02-08T14:56:13.667-05:002017-02-08T14:56:13.667-05:00I loved Peter David's run on Hulk.

No one ever bothered to explain him. <br />Also, I must add, the Pantheon was an interesting concept by Peter David. Unfortunalty, no one ever used them afterwards... <br /><br />Greetings from Berlin,Germany <br />Mirko, www.yeahaw.de Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-58954715952297900972017-02-08T14:29:55.618-05:002017-02-08T14:29:55.618-05:00Colin, it's surprising to me that the Hulk was...Colin, it's surprising to <i>me</i> that the Hulk was able to find a Big & Tall clothier that could tailor suits to his measurements!
